After concluding multi-million dollar deals with Comcast-owned USA Network and Fox Sports, sports entertainment brand WWE is looking to boost its international broadcast revenue from markets like India.
WWE said that it expects to conclude the India deal during the first half of 2019. Although this agreement could be secured either before or after this date, the management believes that this range represents the most likely periods for such communication.
Currently, Sony Pictures Networks India courtesy its acquisition of Ten Sports Network from ZEEL holds the broadcast rights of WWE for the Indian market till 2019. The Indian sports broadcast market has two key players in Star India and Sony with Discovery Communications India’s DSport being the fringe player.
